General Discussion / OPNsense versus commercial firewalls
« on: April 29, 2016, 01:11:34 am »
Hi guys,
I need a pitch to sell OPNsense to my management. Corporation prefers to have a big name company like Fortinet behind our firewall. I do have OPNsense at home. But I am just a home user. I was trying to find something online to compare it, but found nothing available , I do not know if I can get something from developers or from you guys.
Only thing I found online was some reddit posts where people go in fights over nonsense and I found this comparison of Fortinet with iptables

Can we start a discussion based on this template
Packet Filtering
Policy Management
VPN, NAT and ROUTING
Scaling and performance
Maintenance and support
We can also compare generally with commercial firewalls
